it works like it's supposed to.

I changed the scope

It's a great buy.

The fact that it is multi-shot. Also it is light weight.

Nothing yet

It is too cold here, so I shot it in the basement. We are only talking 5 yds. I just had to try it out. 6 shots in a 1/2" hole. I can't tell you what it will do at 20 or 30 yds, I will have to see when it gets warm enough to shoot outside. I did have to shim the back of the scope to get on target. So far it is shooting well.

It's light, it's accurate, and the ten shot repeater works very well. I've put around 300 rounds through it and it shoots really good. It's not no way broken in yet, and I'm sure once it is it will shoot as good if not better then now. I don't use the Scopes that come with these guns I use only dot sights. So I can't really speak for this scope. This gun is powerful it is accurate it is light and the ten shot system works great. For 200.00 bucks I mean come on theres nothen to complain about. Get the gun you're going to like it..

Nothen as of now. Gun works great..

Get the guns guys and girls. The ten shot system really does work great. Its light it's got great power its accurate. Also the construction of this gun does feel very solid. Well built. That part surprise me. If your wanting something new a change from the same old thing,this new ten shot break Barrel is where it's at.

This gun is well worth the money. It is not expensive. I have found it to be very accurate at 12 yards (basement range). I will check it at 25 yards when the weather permits. It has been cold in Minnesota. Cocking effort is low and so is the felt recoil. I really love the 10 shot rotary mag. with the shot indicator on top. The gun is quiet and it is light,

Gamo really needs to stop putting those cheap Chinese scopes on their guns. I would rather get a tin of good pellets. l found out quickly that the scope is not sealed and that the eye piece is loose when you set the focus. This is my only complaint.The scope found a nice spot in the trash can. The 1" rings and mount are fine with a Redfeild Revenge scope.

I bought the .22 cal. model of this and some Predator Metal Mags pellets in 16gr.

10 clip mag works flawlessly so far

scope could use some upgrades not clear at close range

light weight, powerful enough, super accurate, and yes ... you gotta love a 10 shot break barrel that works. Game got it right with this one. No longer do you need a PCP to have a multi shot pellet gun worth hunting with.

Not much. So far pretty loud for a gun with baffles? Though it is still new with less than 100 rounds fired.

Despite lousy packing by PA (even after a request of extra care) The gun seems to have made it in working order, if slightly banged. This is a testament to Gamo and the airguns they currently make. Well Done Gamo!

FIRES 10 SHOTS

Too much plastic, Sell without cheap scope leave it up to buyer

Magazine unit seems fragile,Trigger all plastic and looks weak Cocking effort is harder than 30 lbs.

This is a great and very accurate break barrel. I own (6) Gamo Break Barrel rifles and all perform very well. The Multi-shot rifle is seamless and comfortable to shoot.. The Swarm has a very good weight and feel to it. Upon sighting it in at 35 yards I am able to constantly put (7) rounds in the bulls eye with the remaining rounds within a "dime size" away from center of target. The rotating magazine works perfectly. It is quick to load. I purchased the .22 cal. model and I'm very pleased that I did. Gamo has come up with a great product,

Maybe include two magazines within the package.

Until you purchase the Swarm Maxxim you will have no idea of what you are missing.

Ditto to what others are saying about the ten round magazine ( SMOOTH ) ( FAST ) . The light weight , fast follow-up shots , fun to shoot . I have two other Gamos that are springers a Hunter Extreme .177 and a Gamo Accu 22 caliber and it is at least 4 pounds lighter than my Extreme and almost two pounds lighter than my Accu. Easy to carry in the field. Found mine on sale for 185.00 so i jumped at the chance. Buy one you won't be sorry! Good plinker.

My Swarm out of the box had a scope with a reticle that was rotating . I have never been a fan of rifle/scope combos always end up replacing them with better ones. I know the idea is to get you shooting right out of box by including a scope , but they could lower the price by 20.00 and leave that to the customer . For 200.00 its still a bargain. It sounds like not one else has had the scope problem i experienced , thats a good thing.

I use the Crosman Premiers 10.5 grain ultra magnums in my .177 , heavier pellets seem to tame it some . I replaced my scope with a 4x16x40mm side focus, etched glass reticle , that has a mill-dot that is the same length and weight and i reused the one piece mount . With this scope it was zeroed in 6 rounds. It is very hold sensitive so it takes a lot of practice to hold it the same way every shot, and the light weight may be a double edged sword .If you like the wood/metal look then this isn't it , mostly plastic.

I love everything about this rifle, weigh, accuracy, looks and how fun is to shoot. the 10 shots mag is awesome.

At this point I don't have anything to say about any change I would make.

Get one today.

The gun is very stylish and lightweight love the way it feels

I would put a nicer stock on it with a better cheek rest

The gun is excellent it's very lightweight very stylish you'll enjoy it very much

This gun is very accurate. Using JSB match Diabolo 18.13 grain 22 cal easy to load and fun to shoot.

Keep the price the same and add another clip.

Grate gun to shoot . Quiet. accurate. The gun is not to heavy nice to carry around.

A repeater that has power , lightweight , somewhat quiet , great scope and it hits what you aim at , what more would you want ....OK how about a nice way to mount a sling ? , like the trigger and at $200.00 a crazy bargain , problem is don't show it to your buddies or you aint getting it back for awhile .

Really only a few points , the lack of sling studs on any hunting rifle is not great and I know you can use the Buddy sling but I don't trust them in the field , I'll come up with something and of course the rifle is scratchy sounding when cocking as it is dry and of course new , Hatsan's and many others are the same and just need a break in and a spot of oil on the barrel area .

Rob your piggy bank , sell some other airguns , maybe sell a kidney but get one , a .22 that is fast to shoot , hit's and at this price , order many spare mags when they become available and have some fun .

Price and 10 rounds mag

Accuracy and trigger

Not consistent accuracy , can't adjust the trigger.only for kids fun.

Easy to load, quiet as a mouse, accurate.

NADA

FUN FUN FUN, Buy it for the money it is totally worth it. Even if you just use it as a plinker buy it.

Super fast reloading, accurate, lightweight and powerful

Include another magazine, those 10 shots go quick. And include the 3-9x40AO Gamo scope instead of the fixed objective 3-9x40.

Sub 1" groups are attainable with the factory fixed objective scope at 25 yards but this rifle will do a lot better with an upgraded scope. Chrony test put my rifle shooting 14.3gr Crosman Premier Hollow Point just below 18 ft/lbs.

This rifle truly is a "game changer" in the world of air guns. I have always liked break barrels but (as we all know) the "load each time" gets to be a hassle and tedious. This rifle is powerful, accurate and you cannot loose with a 10 shot magazine! I have put about 200 shots on my Swam .22. It seems to be accurate up to about 35 yards. Due to the size of my property, 35 yard accuracy is all I need. The scope is decent. I have 5 air rifles and this is the only one I now need. A great rifle for the money. Plus you can use in in cold temperatures.

There is nothing about the Swarm I would change. As time goes on maybe some weaknesses will show up, but so far all is great.

If you are debating if you will buy one....... just go out and buy it. You will enjoy it. I am sure other manufacturers are working on competitive rifles, but so far this is the only break barrel with 10 shot capabilities.

EXACTLY as Rick Eutsler presented in his video review! At thirty yards, and using the CORRECT pellet(s), I get quarter-sized groups - CONSISTENTLY. I am REALLY looking forward to having the little squirrels and bunnies say HELLO to my new Gamo friend... hee hee hee. Oh, and the loading mechanism is working VERY smoothly. But as I am a bit 'rough' with my handling... not too much... and as it is a VERY simple procedure to switch-out the loading mechanism in the field, I think I will go ahead and just get me another_ for JUST IN CASE. Yes-sir-ree, so far I REALLY like this SWARM MAXIM.

Make the cocking effort a bit less, IF possible. For those of you who have the Benjamin Trail NP2, you will find that the Gamo takes a bit more OOMPH to cock. I was really surprised, as the Gamo has a bit less FPE using the same weight pellet. But other than the SURPRISE regarding the cocking effort, there is NOTHING else negative for me.

People, you have all heard that term regarding this rifle... A GAME CHANGER. Well, in my honest opinion, I believe this to be absolutely true. So now the game becomes WHO WILL ADOPT THIS NEXT? I am hoping that a ton of the major manufacturers will at least consider adopting the system.

Repeater function works perfect. 100%. Got the trigger adjusted down to an average of 2lbs 9oz. Going to get a grt trigger for it. Really light even with scope mounted. But that's just me. I only shoot off a bench. I filled the butt stock with old used pellets and cheap pellets I'll never shoot. It's about 9-10 lbs now. Need a paper pug stuffed in front of the cavity first or pellets can fall thru the front. If I want to lighten it I just need to pour some pellets out and stuff paper in behind the remaining pellets to lighten and balance it a little better. Pellets will rattle a little but paper will make it minor. Cocks easy. It's tight but I can load pellets directly into the barrel. Good scope rail and one piece mount. Reticle can be adjusted with finger tips. RWS Hobby 7.0 grs 1040fps average RWS Meiter. 8.2grs 972 RWS Super Mags. 9.3grs 883 JSB Domed 10.34grs 842

Wood stock, all steel barrel and an AO scope with mildots.

After I added weight the group tightened up. With RWS 8.2 grs Meisterkugeln at 25 yards last ten shots made a 1/2 inch ragged hole with one flyer a 1/2 inch away. It's a keeper. I want to see if there's a wood stock I can get from Gamo USA that'll fit it

The gun is very lightweight and easy to handle. It loads each and every time with the break of the barrel. The counter on the magazine is very helpful so that you don't end up dry firing the weapon. It is also very accurate with just about any pellet.

Nothing
